The exhibit is organized into three factions of response to sickness.

We are part of a history of epidemics that has ravaged the human population for thousands of years.

This exhibit intends to showcase that our time is not an anomaly. Our lives have been uprooted by COVID-19, which has caused death, sickness, job loss, depression, anxiety, prejudice, and much more. Piety and Plague: Communal Responses to Epidemics Curated by Candace Reilly and Becca Safi We are living in a difficult time. January 24th-April 29th 2022 Online exhibit: From bookcloths, pigments, parchment, leathers, dust, mold, fungus, and disease this exhibit will have you question the poisonous nature of books. If Books Could Kill showcases the artifacts within our collection that possibly contain toxic ingredients. We were inspired by the Winterthur Library Poison Book Project, and their work on detecting toxicity in bookcloth colorants primarily from the 19th century. From texts such as the Malleus Maleficarum, Mein Kampf, and the Bible, which have influenced killing, to the chemical make-up of the ingredients used to produce books. This exhibit explores the toxicity of book production. The text? The ink? The pigments? The binding?

De Woordenaar: Christoffel Plantijn вЂs Werelds Grootste Drukker en Uitgever (1520вЂ“1589). The Antwerp Polyglot Bible (1572): Visual Coprus, New World вЂHebrew-IndianвЂ™ Map, and the Religious Crosscurrents of Imperial Spain. He presents the origin and evolution of the world and its people from creation to the time of Christ together with an ethnography of the ancient Hebrews. Volume Eight is a treatise by Benito Arias Montano, who was overseeing the bible production on behalf of King Philip II. Volume Seven has the complete Old Testament in Hebrew with a Latin translation between the lines and a Greek New Testament also with an interlinear Latin translation as well as a list of common and familiar Hebrew idioms. Volume Six has grammars and dictionaries of Hebrew, Greek, Syriac and Chaldean (Aramaic). Volume Five has the New Testament in Syriac on the far left with its Latin translation in the next column and on the facing page the Vulgate Latin text on the left with the Greek Septuagint on the right. The arrangement changes, for instance, the book of Judith does not include the Hebrew and the Greek Septuagint has an interlinear Latin transliteration next to the Vulgate Latin translation. Underneath the columns is a vocalized Chaldean (Aramaic) text of the Targum on the left page with its Latin translation on the right. The facing page has the Greek Septuagint on the right with an italicized Latin translation on its left. The left page commonly shows vocalized Hebrew on the far left with JeromeвЂ™s Vulgate Latin translation on the right. The first four volumes contain the Old Testament with most pages featuring two columns. The text arrangements in the Polyglot are complex and show a remarkable skill on the part of the typesetters. The Polyglot was meant to assist all men to become fellow-citizens of the world. With Hebrew, Greek and Syriac in the Polyglot, all of the Abrahamic religions were purposely represented: Jewish, Christian, and Muslim. Two volumes, six and eight, were only printed on paper due to a shortage of vellum during various uprisings against the rule of Philip II. Another 1200 copies were printed on paper. Philip II, King of Spain and at that time still Lord of the Seventeen Provinces of the Netherlands, commissioned 13 copies printed on vellum. Plantin acquired types from the best type-cutters and designers of the day as well as proofreaders for the Hebrew, Greek, Syriac, Latin and Chaldean (Aramaic) texts for his Polyglot Bible. In 1568 he started a masterpiece of Renaissance book production: The Biblia Regia or Antwerp Polyglot Bible. His main residence was in Antwerp where his printing house has been preserved to this day in the Plantin-Moretus Museum. Alex de VoogtД¬hristophe Plantin or Christoffel Plantijn (1520вЂ“1589) was the founder of one of the most important publishers of the 16th Century.
